Some Democratic insiders are already expressing concerns over newly elected Democratic National Committee (DNC) Vice Chair David Hogg just two weeks into his tenure in leadership.
Hogg has already ruffled some feathers within the DNC for using the committee’s contact list to solicit donations for his own political action committee (PAC), Leaders We Deserve, according to a report from the New York Post.
"David Hogg here: I was just elected DNC Vice Chair! This is a huge win for our movement to make the Democratic Party more reflective of our base: youthful, energetic, and ready to win," reads one of eight texts, which include solicitation links to "Leaders We Deserve," sent out to a DNC database of phone numbers, according to the report.
The texts aren’t sitting well with some DNC insiders, who believe the committee’s vast database of numbers and donors should be used to help the future of the party, not a member’s individual PAC.
"David Hogg – talk about living up to your name. A trough of DNC dollars all for him and he doesn’t seem to give an oink," one top Democrat told the Post.
Hogg, who first came to prominence as a survivor of the 2018 Parkland, Florida, school shooting, founded the PAC in August 2023, which he said aims to help young progressives get elected to Congress and state legislatures across the country.
The now 24-year-old DNC vice chair also pockets a salary of over $100,000, the report notes, having last taken a $20,000 salary payment in December, according to the most recent public data.
While Hogg’s personal fundraising for his PAC does not break any rules, some within the party have taken exception to the young activist's use of DNC resources.

You broke it, you bought it.
Trump needs to nail, superglue him in place! He’s a gift!
Not Trump’s to fire. I would rather watch Democrats do stupid things.
“ Just awful. Can Trump fire him?”
Is that a joke?
When you opponent is beating themselves, don’t stop them. The Dims are stuck on stupid.
Yes.
Well, it cracked ME up.
Is the kid worth $20M yet?
BS - Hogg was not a survivor of the school shooting - he was at home when it happened and traveled to the school when he heard about it
Kinda like John Kerry lite.
That was one quick Honeymoon, LOL!
The Socialist Democrats SO DESERVE all the shiite that’s coming their way for the next four years - and beyond.
MAGA...WITHOUT them!
I’m actually surprised that some DNC leaders are surprised by this.
When the elected Hogg, they elected a grifting and unstable weirdo. Now they’re surprised that their vice-chairman is a grifting and unstable weirdo?
His last name fits him. This clown is a Hogg who wants to enrich himself through politics just the Pelosi Hogs. All pigs.
The guy hid a broom closet during a shooting, crying, and that gives him credibility?
Now he’s a DNC vice chair he has access to all donor information and can use that data to raise money for his personal PAC.
Wow, he sure is full of himself.
Hogg is such a freakin FRAUD..claims he was a “Survivor of the Parkland shooting” please, the prick was NEVER there..that’s like me saying Im a 9/11 survivor because I watched it on TV..I always believed that Hogg was in on it, he was friends with the shooter, didnt go to school that day but the second he heard about the shooting went on his lil trike and went to the school with his video camera
Why?
Let him torch the democrats!
A liar, like all democrats.
Stolen valor
